Burglaries in Las Vegas on the rise
BrianAJackson via Getty ImagesLas Vegas Metropolitan Police are asking for you help in a series of burglaries.
We often think that the area we live in is safe. "It's gated." "It's on a golf course." "It's on a lake." "Security drives by every two hours."
Sadly, it doesn't matter where you live, or if it's gated, or on a golf course, or what side of town, or what city or state you live in, crime is on the rise, especially in the Summerlin area of Las Vegas. Best Places compared Las Vegas to Los Angeles in violent crime, and property crime, and it's actually a bit alarming.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is warning residents of a series of burglaries that have targeted properties near golf courses in Summerlin, and asking for your help.
According to a recent news release, the burglaries occurred on 11 occasions since October 2022.
Police say that in each event, the suspects have gained access to the targeted residences through a desert area, golf courses or walking paths.
According to LVMPD, detectives are in the process of canvasing the areas where burlaries have taken place to locate any videos, photos or information which can lead to the identification of the possible suspects.
Additional patrols have been established within the Summerlin Area Command and Major Case Protocol has been enacted, the department said in the release.
Anyone with any information about these incidents is urged to contact Summerlin Area Command Patrol Detectives by phone at 702-828-9455 or by email: SACinvestigations@lvmpd.com. To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers: 702-385-5555, or: www.crimestoppersofnv.com.
Precautions you can take if you are not already: Lock your doors and windows, bar your sliders, put a couple cameras inside and outside your home. Cameras are very affordable now, and well worth the investment. An alarm system, if you can do it.
If your neighborhood has a neighborhood watch, be a part of it, or establish one.
Also - get to know your neighbors, so they can keep an eye on your home, and you can keep an eye on theirs. And maybe, eventually - do a potluck!

Lisa Marie Presley Spoke Openly About Her Struggles With Addiction
Lisa Marie Presley, the only daughter of the late Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley, died Thursday, just hours after being hospitalized following an apparent cardiac arrest.
Lisa Marie Presley spoke openly about her struggles with addiction on the Today Show, in 2019. She had written the foreword for the book “The United States of Opioids: A Prescription for Liberating a Nation in Pain” by Harry Nelson:"
She spoke to a lot of people throughout the world with this forward:
“I’m not perfect. My father wasn’t perfect, no one’s perfect. It’s what you do with it after you learn and then you try to help others with it.”
Elvis Presley, who died in 1977, also struggled with substance abuse.
Lisa Marie wrote that she wanted to go public in an attempt to help others.
“I had never openly spoken in public about my own addiction to opioids and painkillers,” she wrote. “I wasn’t sure that I was ready to share on such a personal topic.”
Presley said she became addicted when she was given a short-term prescription during her recovery from the birth of her twin daughters, Vivienne and Finley, in 2008. She’s faced a “difficult path” with her recovery but said, “It is time for us to say goodbye to shame about addiction.”
“Across America and the world, people are dying in mind-boggling numbers because of opioid and other drug overdoses,” Presley wrote in the book. “Many more people are suffering silently, addicted to opioids and other substances. I am writing this in the hope that I can play a small part in focusing attention on this terrible crisis.”
From the death of her father Elvis, when she was just 9 years old, to the joy of raising her children, to losing one of her children (Benjamin Keough in 2020), she was a beautiful woman who shared, and struggled with, a lot in her short life.
Enjoy these photos from her life, and smile as you live yours!
